Upper Stage Rocket Gallery

Here are a group of rocket photos that you can use in
classroom activities.
All of these rockets are upper stage rockets; they
are carried aloft by another rocket airplane and are
then fired to put satellites into orbit.
These photos were gathered by Honie Lui, of Independence High School,
Independence, Ohio, in May, 2005, as part of a
Senior Shadowing Project.
